I'm trying to get my hands on a GQ ecu from an AFN for my B4 but wreckers don't list under part #'s, only by make/model/year.

Cheers,
B4 U go

I hope not. That would make it more difficult for me to attain.

IIRC, the AFN was a 110hp version of the TDI sold only ex-NAmerica.

I think it was 1997 +/- 1 year. Audi used the powerplant, too.

Rocketchip can likely perfomr the conversion for you...keep that in mind.

Looking at EKTA, I think the GQ was only used on early '96 Passats with 1Z engines in North America. The AFN was not brought to North America and used the DF ECU, not the GQ.

I am thinking of selling an entire AFN set-up, including the ECU, if you're interested.

That would be bizarre as I have a '96 passat that has a crummy ecu. Basically, I'm trying to find a GQ.
Maybe your ecu would work, but will you part with it seperately?

Sorry, for now I'm going to try and sell the AFN parts as a package.

The parts numbers all seem right: you have a '96 Passat with a 1Z engine and a GQ ECU. You don't have an AFN engine though.

Nice photo.

So close I can almost grab it!

My current ECU is a BK. And I am surprised to find out that the GQ is also from a 96 passat. I was given the distinct impression, from another member, that the GQ runs the AFN. I will try and erase that info from the gray matter.
